Cayo Coco, Cuba
One of central Cuba’s most beautiful and ecologically sensitive islands
Cayo Coco (or Coco Key in English) is home to a whole set of rather exclusive all-inclusive resorts and mile upon mile of undisturbed white powdered sand beaches. The island itself is part of a chain known as the Jardines Del Rey (King’s Gardens), which extends across 120 miles of pristine coral reef along Cuba’s northern shore.

Must see:
If diving is your thing, or you just like to get up close and personal with nature, then you’ve come to the right place. Just offshore sits a massive coral reef that’s a haven for divers and snorkelers from all over the world.
Must be there for:
Start the New Year with a bang – for the Cubans most certainly do. Marking the anniversary of the revolution that swept Fidel Castro to power in 1959, 1st January is a date to remember... and watch the locals party.
Well-travelled facts:
If you’re not up for diving or snorkelling, one of the best (and driest) ways to explore the magnificent reefs is to take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat.
The key is linked to mainland Cuba by an artificial causeway 27 km long
